Funny how business here will always try to screw whoever they have to in order to make that extra buck.


All of what is here is a simple issue of being not an issue of how you are being screwed, rather that you are being screwed because you LET yourself be screwed. You are not being held in a job at gunpoint nor other major issues that can be solved by demanding resolution, quitting, leaving, etc.

Much of this is clear that something is fishy, not listed here, not having your own health insurance and card, not being provided privacy issues in health care, having to report you are this person working here, but not working here, etc. Knowing a facility is telling lies, falsifying work and employee records, and the like. You as an employee and human are as responsible, if not more for your own actions; you are letting yourself be screwed.

Common sense and self-worth are the issues at hand; not how the system is raping people


Finally a voice of reason on this thread!
lonelyontherok is absolutely right. Why put yourself in harm's way (ie possible deportation and fine) when you don't need to? Demand they register you or quit and find another job. Don't let these people push you around when it could have a major negative effect on your life, like not being able to get another job in Korea (assuming of course that you want to stay here.)

as it turns out i am leaving anyway. moving to seoul in march. if i was staying with them i would indeed demand to be registered. i don;t think any harm would come to me over this thing though. its their problem. its not an immigration issue.
